    I think it’s safe to say Apple has proved that wrong three times.
    When they switched from Motorola to Power, then from Power to Intel, and latest from Intel to Arm.
    If necessary software will be quickly modified, or it will run well enough on compatibility layers.

    The switch can happen very fast for new hardware. The old systems may stay around for a while, but the previous CPU architecture can be fazed out very quickly in new systems. Apple has proven that.

        from silicon to App Store.

        Not ther case from Motorola to Power or Power to X86. Very similar software infrastructure to what PC’s have, with lots and lots of 3rd party software vendors.
